Welcome to my Website

“Over the decades making work that comes from my heart I have become a nationally recognized ceramic artist, educator, entrepreneur, and visionary leader. I have dedicated my career to building community, mentoring emerging artists, and creating opportunities for ceramic artists to develop both their creative voices and sustainable careers. As the founder of The Village Potters Clay Center, my husband George and I transformed a bold idea into a thriving ceramic arts center that serves thousands of artists, students, educators, and institutions throughout the region and beyond. Today we often consult with potters in other communities with a heart to create a ceramic arts center in their hometowns.
